Lowering Leaf Spring Rear 2" Drop

Lowering Leaf Spring, Rear, 2 Inch Drop
Leaf springs do much more than simply supporting the weight of the vehicle. They are responsible for locating the axle, setting pinion angle, & controlling rearend movement. This makes them a critical part of the rear suspension. BMR's leaf springs give a superior option to stock leaf springs that sag, rust, & do little to control axle wrap & wheelhop as they get older. The SP057 feature a 2-inch drop, three leafs, & a 190 lb/in spring rate, which reduces body roll without increasing rear oversteer. This commonly happens w/too much spring rate. BMR's spring design, combined w/precise clamp locations give you less wheel hop & more axle control. This design reduces axle wrap, which causes the spring to load & unload. By eliminating this oscillation, wheel hop is minimized & traction is improved. Each spring comes w/new bushings in the front & rear. Other companies make you buy rear bushings separately, but BMR includes them. The SP057 leaf springs also come w/Teflon antifriction pads for smooth, quiet travel through the spring's range of motion, which further reduces NVH. BMR designed the SP057s for street performance, drag race, & handling applications. Lowering springs are not only a great way to add an aggressive look to your 1st-Gen F-body, but they also improve the handling capabilities at the same time. By adding BMR's 2-inch drop leaf springs, you will lower the rear center of gravity & reduce body roll, which improves handling. New bushings greatly reduce the deflection seen in old worn out bushings. New rubber bushings in the front give you a smooth quiet ride, & the polyurethane rear bushings improve handling. To complete the install, you can reuse your original hardware, or purchase new hardware from BMR (RH015), which includes new U-bolts, polyurethane spring pads, stainless steel shackles. Combine w/BMR front lowering springs for a level, aggressive stance w/huge improvements in handling & performance.
